Summary:
“Boutonnat style” points to the Laurent Boutonnat / Mylène Farmer school: lush, cinematic synth-pop with strong dramatic arcs. Use a minor key (A minor here) with sweeping string pads and a warm analog synth lead carrying memorable melodic hooks. The rhythm sits mid-tempo (around 100–120 BPM; 110 BPM is a good target) in standard 4/4 with punchy gated/snare—80s-style electronic/processed drums and a deep synth bass underpinning the harmony. Add piano and clean, chorus-laden electric guitar fills for texture, and occasional choir or layered backing vocals for operatic drama. Arrange for dynamic builds: restrained verses, expansive choruses with full strings and choir, an instrumental or synth solo section before a bridge that modulates intensity, then a final climactic chorus/outro. Production notes: heavy use of reverb and plate on vocals/strings, chorus on guitars/synths, and vintage-sounding drum machine samples for authentic tone.
